Can you change the title of a thread you start?
I would like to change the title of this thread to "The Marjorie Green/Lauren Boebert Thread".
 
BTW my last post is a serious question: Is there someway I can change the title of a thread I created?
 
Taylor Greene has been appointed to the House Education and Labor Committee despite her claiming that the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, "weren't real" but were "false flag" operations intended to drum up support for gun control. She is one crazy biatch.

Running unopposed after her Democratic rival fell afoul of divorce and residency requirements didn't hurt either.

It's a heavily Repub district. But she ran in the Repub primary against eight other candidates. This is anoher argument for rank-choice voting. She won 40% of the primary vote, but that means 60% of the voters wanted somebody else. If they could have named a second or third choice, she might not have been the one to go to the run-off.

The fact that she could even get 40% of the vote is scary, especially when the candidate getting the next amount of greatest votes was a die hard Trump supporting neurosurgeon.

I think the "mainstream" in the US need to acknowledge that QAnon is firmly entrenched in the GOP and that its influence is only going to grow. We've seen it before with religious fundamentalists and with the Tea Party, the Republican Party is very good at embracing what appear to be fringe movements and then moving its centre (or perhaps extending its boundaries) to make them quite usual in short order.

That Taylor Greene has been appointed to the House Education and Labor Committee is a clear nod that she, and her views, have been very quickly embraced by the Republican Party. Heck, her QAnon views are not so different than the view that the election was stolen and that's Republican Party policy these days. :mad:

She should be removed from office. No seriously.

She can't be in a position of public leadership.

Why not ?

She represents the views of a substantial minority of one of the US' two major political parties. IMO as with President Trump she is just a symptom and if you were to remove her, she'd rapidly be replaced with someone with similar, or even more extreme, views.

I think what the US and the rest of the Western world needs to think about is how such a ridiculous conspiracy theory could get sufficient traction that it has become a major force in politics.

You convinced me.

The House should vote to remove a substantial minority of one of the US' two major political parties.
